Russia wants a civil war. They want people scared and angry. They want people taking to the streets armed. Don't fall into this trap - the propaganda machine is going strong, even here on Lemmy.
Trump openly said he will be a dictator and will not follow the rule of law. The damage is done man, Putin got what he wanted. I'm not really sure any ways out. We either fall into an authoritarian dictatorship, or we will probably eventually have a civil war. I'm not really sure what else can be done about that. You can't vote yourself out of a dictatorship... So what else is there for people to do?
I will not advocate for violence or recommend people take to the streets armed, because that is exactly the kind of situation Trump would exploit to run them over with a truck in an official act of assholery.
Oh sorry, you must have missed the last 10 years of ~~white supremacist terrorism~~ lone wolves
Are you actually suggesting that people physically attack others like white supremacists?
Because that would be advocating for violence.
There is always a path towards peace. I admit it may be unclear to me in the present moment but I’ll be searching for it in the coming years.
We certainly don’t need to do anything to accelerate civil conflict, inevitable or not.
I'll try to be polite and simply say this is incredibly naive and ignorant of human history.
You do that, while the Kansas National Guard is busy doorkicking for Latinos in New York.
... dafuq?
Project 2025 specifically mentions deputizing national guard units from red states to enforce their immigration law nationwide, specifically in blue states where the local LEOs and leadership there are likely to be less cooperative.
Ahh. I initially read that as if it had already happened. That being in P25 tracks.
I don’t know why you think this is naive. We might be able to know or actualize the path the peace but that does not mean it isn’t there.
The present danger doesn’t say anything about what is the most effective way to resist or diffuse this danger. Do you think you have the strength of arms to defeat the US military? Now that I would call naive.
I don't fucking care about peace; I care about justice. If the path to justice requires going through conflict, then anybody who says that bullshit you wrote is an enemy of it.
Then you are extremely naive about the horrors and harms a civil war would entail. We should all care.
I don’t agree that justice requires going through war, nor even that war is even likely to lead to justice.
Especially here on Lemmy.
Part of me can't help but think that a lot of these "that guy" tankies are really just MAGA honeypots trying to incite the communist Boogeyman they want to use to justify their radical agenda.
Russia doesn't have to lift a finger. We elected the king of the racist bigots, and now for four years (and more) we're going to have to constantly push back against them, because they will will think they can do whatever they want.
I get tempering your emotions, being patient, and trying to see the bigger picture. But there may come a point where it simply does not matter what our geopolitical enemies want or do not want. We've been avoiding this fight since we bungled Reconstruction, honestly.
We fucking deserve it.
Yeah, don’t stand up against the fascists! Let them rule over you!
